Release notes
This installer release includes a major refactoring effort of our promise-android-tools library, which controls how adb, fastboot and heimdall talk to the devices. This allowed us to correct some early design mistakes to improve user experience and stability. The most noteworthy improvements include the installer's ability to detect the device type while the device is in fastboot mode (previously this was only possible over adb), and improved progress bars for fastboot flashing, and adb sideloading and pushing.
